Morphology
The word 'roll' clearly signals a rolled food item, so learners can infer a type of rolled snack, but 'spring' does not transparently indicate the wrapper, filling, or cooking method (it historically relates to season/festival rather than literal ingredients). While many languages use a similar calque (e.g., 'rollito de primavera'), which may aid recognition, the specific culinary meaning (thin wrapper, fried or fresh, filled with vegetables/meat) is not fully predictable without exposure.
Etymology
The snack spring roll may come from a simple image: people put fresh spring vegetables into thin dough and then roll it up into a small tube. One popular story says these were eaten at the spring festival, so the name links the season and the rolled shape and explains why spring rolls often have fresh fillings.
